Although he was never to enjoy the success he had with his first Oz book, Baum sure tried hard with this one (the second in the series). Most like this far better than the first, more famous The Wizard of Oz work. It starts off with Tip living in a cottage deep in a forest in Oz. The witch who keeps him is set on turning him into stone, so Tip must escape. This sets up a whole series of wonderful adventures and interesting characters. The Pumpkinhead character is a favorite. If only someon...

His workmen, selected from the ryls, knooks, pixies and fairies, live with him, and every one is as busy as can be from one year's end to another. One would think that our good old Santa Claus, who devotes his days to making children happy, would have no enemies on all the earth; and, as a matter of fact, for a long period of time he encountered nothing but love wherever he m...

As Claus, a mortal, grows up among the fairies and other fascinating immortals, he lea...

Though I first read this book nearly 50 years ago, it still remains one of the best books I have ever read.

All you need is love of a good story.For many years Ozma was my heroine--I dreamed that I would meet her somehow, somehow be transported like Dorothy to the Land of Oz. Though these dreams faded, I still often think that this book might be the ...
